Description
Our journey began with the end of founder and owner Andy Smith's former career in fine dining. An avid home-brewer, Andy sought to make fresh exciting beer that was difficult to find here in the UK. A move from his home town of Leeds to London soon presented the opportunity to work with Andy Moffat at Redemption Brewing in Tottenham. Here he studied and learned to ply his trade as a professional brewer whilst making many friends and contacts in the fast growing UK beer scene. In 2012, one of these friends, Evin O'Riordain of The Kernel Brewery kindly offered to pass on their original brew kit as the Kernel embarked upon expansion. A short time later, some premises secured just down the railway line, and Kernel and Partizan were established as neighbors; so the brewery was born.

The brewery relocated late 2017 from Almond Road to its current location.

Today

Ten years later and much like other small breweries across the UK Partizan has faced tough trading conditions; namely the lasting effects of the pandemic, soaring inflation and increasing rent. To both protect Partizan and avoid chasing inflation and increasing prices, the brewery moved its production out of London in 2023 to a farm in Market Harborough in rural Leicestershire, locating it at long-time friends, Langton Brewery.

We are now expanding the brewery here, on the farm. By Spring 2024 we will have a new fermenter hall and a greater capacity than we ever had in London which will allow us to brew exciting new beers and to collaborate with old friends and new. Despite the draw of the countryside our roots are still in London and we will continue to meet the demands of our customers in the city that we still call home.

Almost clear burnished gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, milldy dry and finely crisp. Light malts, mildly sweet. A pleasing herbal bitterness from the added botanicals, vague gin and Vermouth touches. Modest but bright and bitterish citric peel. Light crisp finish. Nobody does Saison like Partizan, always interesting and often very good.

Bottle from Honest Brew. It pours clear bright yellow with a dissipating white head. The aroma is fairly sweet, toasty grain, doughy white bread, cereal and hay. The taste is initially dry, slight sweetness, backbone of doughy white bread, straw, grass cereal, toasty grains and some citrus pith. Finish is dry and slightly peppery. Average body and moderate carbonation. Quenching. Decent gear.
